Ana Santos-Pereira holds a PhD in Ageing and Chronic Diseases at the University of Minho. Her doctoral research focused on the evolution, genetic diversity, and antiretroviral drug resistance of HIV-1 using bioinformatics and computational approaches.
She is currently a researcher at ICVS, School of Medicine, University of Minho, where she applies machine learning and deep learning to clinically relevant infectious disease problems. Her recent work includes the prediction of viral phenotypes and treatment-related outcomes from routine sequencing data, as well as contributions to malaria therapeutic failure prediction. She has also developed PyHIV, an open-source Python toolkit for HIV-1 sequence analysis.
Ana’s research combines bioinformatics, data science, and AI for infectious disease genomics, with a strong interest in developing computational tools that can support biomedical research and public health.
